#NBCNews #Russia #Nuclear
Such a gentleman.
Respect and love to the wonderful people of Poland.
their current government is very right-wing and conservative and i probably dont agree with them about anything really, BUT at least they are not genocidal lunatics like Russia's leadership. i dont think they'd ever attack a neighboring country.
thank goodness they are giving tremendous support to Ukraine.
A gentleman willing to lie in public who has been wrong with the information about Ukraine war and removing his incriminating tweets.
Poland would be likely first target If Russia Uses Nuclear Weapons
@@u-1s2e3r4 Only if Poland submit to the US and install nuclear weapons wich they are always submiting and always geting involve in foreign agression. But if you think more for instance Canadians are more smart because they have a policy that repudiates Nuclear weapons and therefore they are not targeted by any nuclear power regime.
@@MrGercela64 If you think that Canada would not be targeted by a nuclear power then you haven't been paying attention. Putin is threatening to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine -- a nation that surrendered its nuclear arsenal. Your propaganda machine is failing, Russian. You lost the information war. Give it up already.
Thank you POLAND 🇵🇱
What? for getting a few billion people vapourised?
Good Job Poland and good Friends.
Poland sets the bar, for how countries can help the people of Ukraine. Thank you Poland 🇵🇱
Let's be fair, it helps if you share a border with them.
Polish people are 100% racist also
@@Whoami691 That usually holds true for invasions too, but... meh.
@@Whoami691 pozdrawiam 🇵🇱. Polska pomaga na całym świecie. W Afryce w Syrii. pomagamy przy pożarach powodziach. Nasi lekarze pomagają. Karitas pomaga. I będziemy pomagać. 😁🤍♥️
@@Whoami691 unfair comment.
Poland has been awesome in supporting Ukraine. Thank you. 🙏🇺🇦💙💛
this is de main reason why Poland would be likely first target If Russia Uses Nuclear Weapons
@@u-1s2e3r4 Aaa, not the first. Maybe the fourth or the fifth (after Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, maybe Belarus would be also a target - Lukashenka won't rule forever and Belarusians are not eager to join Russia). Fortunately Russian army stuck on east an south of Ukraine.
@@PiotrPilinko neither european dictators, Russia may not comes back to Berlin but Madrid along with rublos backed by gas crushing fictitious euro-dolar
I love Poland!!
His best point is that the people of Europe should show Solidarity and be prepared to suffer a bit of cold, because it's a lot less that what Ukrainians are suffering. When you want turn up your heating, think that your gas bill is buying bullets for the Russian army to shoot Ukrainian children. Then go and put on more clothes instead.
ditto!
Polish aren't very lgbt friendly, and they're hyper nationalist.
I hope Russia will destroy Poland as we destroyed Ukraine
Love the strong, kind and generous people of Poland!
Thank you to our Polish friends who receive Ukrainian refugees with open arms and stand ready to help against Russian aggression.
What WONDERFUL human he is !
When you say ready to help what do you mean really?? I know you not talking about military actions so. What exactly do you mean🤔
@@graveyaad357M he literally said what he means, can you read?
@@jackbedle569 and what did he say cause I seems to miss that part he was asking over and over if he's talking about military actions and he refuse to give a straight forward answer so WTF are you talking abt
@@graveyaad357M nope, he said plainly that NATO should respond in a conventional (i.e. military) manner, though clearly stating we wont respond with nukes unless a NATO county is nuked.
What a polite and factual man.
Martin warwick. Dzięki. 🤗
yes, he is indeed...proud we have such a people
He is a warmonger. Be careful what you wish for. NATO action against Russia can escalate to nuclear war. Are you ready to die with your family for Ukraine?
Poland truly a great member of the NATO family.
Poland is the next Germany of Europe in making. Fascinated history of Poland one must read. Very hard working and highly educated qualified people. Leading in computer engineering.
I don't think Germany will allow that. When you're strong and rich the underdog has a hard time to catch up. Try to be a single shopkeeper and compete against a multi billion supermarket chain.
@@peterc.1419 I doubt such things can be controlled by one country in the modern digitalized world. Germany, I think can influence it to a certain extent but can't control it. In fact, Germany may want Poland to become their satellite state. The default location for further investment is going to Poland from Germany. It does tell something.
Poland knows russia all too well
yeah they sure do. they have kicked Polands ars too many times
Moscow 1610.
Warszawa 1920.
hehhe we are the only country that their tsar was on the knee in front of our king heheheh
Will Poland take a stand against the USA's terrorist attack on the nord stream pipe lines?
@@Benny-zo3qh of course not, it is in our interest, we have now in Poland little party 🤣
Min. 5:57 and forward: I couldn't imagine Poland would respond in such a way in this war! It's really admirable the way Poland has responded in this one of kind Ukrainan crisis....I'm sure the Ukrainian people will be thankful forever!!!
Poland hates Russia soooo
Let's hope for that. I think the best possible option for Western civilisation is to see Poland and Ukraine as a joined state - a federation of its regions, exactly the same way as it's in case of Bundesrepublik Deutschland.
Ukraine 🇺🇦 💪 👍
@First Last it like u are killing my parents and adopt me and ask me to thank u forever. Stupid mindset
They’ll be just as thankful like when Hitler and the Nazis invaded Ukraine, welcomed with roses and called “liberators”
Poland...such a loving country. ❤️🙏🇺🇦
@Yemeni Kildakiids Hey i guess all that coping is keeping you from getting drafted lol?
Poland I think has been top of the list for not just supporting, but also taking in their friends from Ukraine.
Unlike Russia, Poland, has a long memory. They remember what happened when Russia and Germany split their country before WW2. Also, let's not forget that when Poland was 'liberated' by the Russians on their march West to defeat Germany, the suffering of the Polish people had only just really begun. No one came to Poland's aid on that day, 1st September 1939. Poland remembers what it's like to have friends who are tough on paper but weak on actions. They also realise that it's UKRAINE fighting for the democracy of the EU right now. #SlavaUkraïni
@wajahat shafi Do you know what happened on September 17, 1939 and what was the Ribentrop-Molotov Pact? I see you have no idea what happened so you better shut up. Russiat invaded Poland in 1939 in cooperation with Germany.
@wajahat shafi lol yeah, they "freed" them by invading then occupying them for years 👍
@wajahat shafi ruzzian occupation was waaay worse than nazi. At first polish people thought that they were being freed, soon they realized what kind of monster arrived. What you see in Ukraine - russians did in Poland, Baltics and other states for more than 45 years. Therefore, shut your hole and remain in silence weakling.
His ending was amicable.
Essentially, we're here for the good times...and the bad.
Thank you sir, and thanks to Poland.
Polska love from Georgia
My gosh, what a top class diplomat he is 👌🏽
Thank you Poland
Poland’s profile as a significant country and global stakeholder has grown to be similar that of France/UK/Post WW2 Germany
No...they're just running around trying to improve they're image...they're a bunch of nobody.
@@wayne9585 Another ruski troll
@@kaulassala really? During brevity they're making big talk, they were talking big to France and Germany as well...poland...nobody believes you're a world power..go sit at the kiddy table where you belong.
As an American I'm glad to see it, the Free World needs nations with common sense like Poland having more influence. Feel like some of the EU has appeased Russia too much and not taken the threat they pose to Europe seriously enough. So it is good to see Eastern European nations like Poland or Baltic nations stepping up in Ukraine's time of need. They haven't forgotten what 80 years of Russian Imperialism was like so it makes sense why they take it more seriously than many in Western Europe.
@@wayne9585 Thanks RUssian.
Poland 🇵🇱is the true leader of Europe, not France/Germany. Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰 (another red-white team 🙂👍)
Dear polish friends, every time your country and my countrie where together we won greatly and every time we where against eachother,we both lost deeply.
🇨🇵🤝🇵🇱
At last a man who says what needs to be said 👍🇬🇧🇺🇦
A conventional response to a nuclear attack is feudal a nuclear attack must be met with a nuclear response a decisive and devastating response . there’s no way around it
You were quiet when the USA invade Irak , Libya , and so on. Hypocrisy at its best

You don't become foreign minister of a country if you can't talk goodly. You have to be the bestest at talking.
@@gabestackson4476 try to speak english with no accent, while polish’s your native language, then we can talk
Thoroughly impressed by Polands FM. Clearminded, well spoken. And a brilliant response to how Poland can help Ukrainian refugees in such a situation. Solidarity. Who said it will be easy? Should our solidarity be conditioned whether it is easy or not to help?
Poland doesn't do "easy" because none of their neighbors have ever let them have "easy". Their very existence as a nation is a testament to how much suffering and hardship can be overcome.
@@wildmouse5888 Respect to Poland from their neighbours accross the water. 🇵🇱❤️
Thankyou Poland PM and there people
GOD BLESS POLAND AND ALL ITS GOOD PEOPLE WHO HAVE TAKEN IN ALL THESE WOMEN AND CHILDREN REFUGEES ---
Poland knows all to well what Russian oppression is like. Everything Ukraine is going through now, Poland has already endured. Much, much, much respect to Poland for it's actions supporting Ukraine.
Cheap
Rau is spot on. It's absolutely essential that no country so much as thinks that resorting to nuclear weapons can gain it any advantage.
Wrong
If the response to a nuclear strike is not nuclear then Putin will have won because he will use it again and again. The response HAS TO BE like for like otherwise Putin will repeat the attack. NATO really needs to re think their response.
REPLY
@@floydnotpink Nukes are not the only way to react to nukes, especially if it's a small-scale battlefield use rather than the War Games style war of mutual annihilation.
Japan became an allie to the USA and surrendered after Hiroshima, and Nagasaki. Which till this day still remains an allie.
@@floydnotpink Maybe I should have said resorting to a first strike. Of course nuclear weapons should be used against Russia if the the country is insanely criminal enough to use them first. This is what I meant. Russians must be totally convinced that if they use nuclear weapons on others then nuclear weapons will be used on them. If they are not convinced of this then they WILL use nuclear weapons.
God Bless Poland 🇵🇱 🇵🇱
as a Pole I love it how he speaks english very well but with a terribly strong accent :D nevertheless i agree with most things he says
Especially the answer to nuclear threat is spot on

@@Levitzky1992 Poland won't live to see any answer since they would be likely first target
He speaks slowly and has an accent even when he speaks natively in Polish. He's a slow talker, but methodological and takes time to express himself to be clear.
That is a good man!
Well done Prime Minister! Even while being quite an old man he managed to acquire English and now he can widespread our Polish perspective on this war directly to the English-speaking audience.. We are proud of you 🇵🇱
With all due respect, that wasn't the Prime Minister. It was the Foreign Minister. Just thought you should know...
He is not a Prime minister 😂

humanity will be wiped out because of poor communication
Such admiration for the Polish people and government. Germany, France….are you watching?
They are tired of war.
@@citizenx7585 They are selfish
Putin once said..."if a fight is inevitable, he'd rather strike first". I sure hope people know the significance of that statement and anticipate his moves. Deal with him decisively before he creates a mess we all have to clean up.
In a fight it's not the first one to strike but the last one to strike who wins
@@davidmickles5012 Even if the fight is a nuclear war? I'd rather no strike at all. No one wins in a mutually assured destruction situation.
@@kfk256 Sure, but if you attacker is going to attack you (with nukes) you have to at least make sure YOUR nukes have the last word
@@kfk256 Yes. Even nuclear war
Nuclear wepons change that formula because the end result is armageddon.
Courageous man. I really appreciated
Ukraine needs 100 HIMARS not just 18... and give them the 100 mile misiles or even the 300 mile ones and more anti aircraft to cancel out Putins cruise misiles
The launchers are not the problem, the missiles are.
Kyiv will be gone in a minute. And no one can do anything about it.
I cannot praise Poland enough for their part in this invasion
Phrasing.
Russia invaded and annexed Crimea: "If Ukraine, EU, US intervene, Russia will use nuclear weapons". Next, Russia invaded and annexed Donetsk and Lugansk: "If Ukraine, the EU, and the US intervene, Russia will use nuclear weapons." Next, Russia invaded and annexed all of Ukraine: "If the EU and the US intervene, Russia will use nuclear weapons." Next, Russia invaded and annexed Poland and Finland: "If the EU and the US intervene, Russia will use nuclear weapons." Next, Russia invaded and annexed Germany, France, and Belgium: "If Britain and the United States intervene, Russia will use nuclear weapons." “With the threat of using nuclear weapons, Russia could annex the whole of Europe.”🇪🇺🇺🇸🇬🇧
Tell me how Russia will with stand more than thirty countries coming for them if he is allowed to use nukes don't think he will use them again in other countries
They have no plans to invade whole Ukraine. They want Donbass and ports.
Gosh, strength to Poland, you have a strong and reassuring leader. After all Poland endured in WWII and now to be threatened by a greedy madman and relic of the cold war who wants to reinstate the Russian "motherland". He absolutely needs to be stopped. I am heartened that the world and even China and India are against the madman.
Poland is a Great country when it comes to help other people even thou they have it dificult times now. Respect
we don't care too much about our economy etc., and we won't stop to help to Ukraine
These people are nuts! Mind your own business instead of putting more innocent people in danger.
If you don't want people to suffer, don't invade Ukraine in the first place and if you already did invade then stop blaming a victim for asking for help.
This is getting scary and dangerous by the moment for all of the Human Family.
The word "catastrophic" was repeated a dozen or so times by Jake Sullivan on Sunday morning. And that was just publicly.
Go Poland! Go Ukraine love from New Zealand! New Zealand should take some Ukrainians refugees!
Human solidarity. That's the right answer.
POLAND ❤️
Seems like a good dude.
Poland has been wronged by Germany and Russia so much historically. USA stands with Poland.
Another hero this man
excellent.... excellent questions...they brought out brilliant responses. thank you
The world should hold Poo-tin in the same regard as we hold dog crap that not only got on our shoe's somehow, seeing as we don't own a dog and then tracking it all through the house just after we had new white carpeting installed.
This is very unfortunate that Putin is single man who is fight against this west and American hegemony mentality
@@ahm848 do you have a stroke or what? Pootin is a dogshit and his own people will string him from the lamp post like they did to musolini.
Well as far as the russian tell, all of this could have been avoided if the west listen and acknowleged their national interests. So maybe its not a good idea, especially not with someone who have a huge stockpile of nukes.
@@Zappina national interests can not be invading another country, or undermining other nations.
What if our national interest of europe as an union of many nation is not to have russia bordering us, should russia comply then as it is a national interest of many nations, oh and we have the nukes too and much more money and industry and people, and working weapons too, should those gopniks agree to an extinction then?
I think this is the logic you advocate right?
The response should be devastating ..... unfortunately how?
they will strike
devastating strike with conventional weapons, you really did not understand or just pretending?
He should not have disclosed NATO's response. BIG MISTAKE. If the response to a nuclear strike is not nuclear then Putin will have won because he will use it again and again. The response HAS TO BE like for like otherwise Putin will repeat the attack. NATO really needs to re think their response.
A representative of the US government said that they have told Putin exactly what would happen if he would use a tactical nuclear weapon.
They just don't want to tell the public, several people hinted on the Black Sea fleet being destroyed that is >30% of Russias its navy, it will take Russia decades to build those ships back.
He didn't tell them anything they aren't already aware of. Putin knows the west's response would be massive coordinated conventional cruise missile attacks.
NATO and US dont have the nuclear weapons like russia do if NATO response Russia will make them l regret getting involved in this War . It the bitter raw truth it's Ukraine War not europe . Also US will not interfer in anything letting Europe facing russia's nukes . Let's be honest it's all Ukraine fault to believe us UK and EU promises of defending them . The truth none of them is even capable of defending themselves AT first place . The first part of Ukraine now IS gone putin will Never stop until he reaches poland remember me and he will Take poland and EU will just keep sanctionning then the EU members will start to leave the EU and NATO .
No. You dont need a nuke to get out of russians and this leveling game is not to be played because it can only escalates and when does it end? You have to be smart.
God Bless USA and NATO partners. We have to put Russia on the knee. God Bless USA and allies!!!!!!! 🇺🇸
What good’s a counter attack when the guy could care less about his own people 🤷♂️
True. Poles were steadfast in WWII. Tenacious, constant, honorable.
For about two weeks then they fell apart .

Absolutely right and let it be clear!!!
God bless the people of Poland
tooth for a tooth-nuke for a nuke...this is only language sick dictators understand !
Like Biden
Ukraine doesn’t have nukes.
Yes I agree 100%
The response should include the transfer of nuclear weapons to Ukraine.
I'm guessing a few UA artillery units have some "special" munitions, that they'll fire off in the event of a nuclear attack from Russia. And the fact that they did will get lost in the radiation shuffle. Who's to say where it came from?
You think Russians are stupid? It will immediately result in total annihilation of Europe and USA.
I myself refused to use nuclear weapons
Very sensible
Stay Strong Poland 🇵🇱❤ and Polish People ❤ 🇵🇱
the drums of war is getting louder and louder everyday i wake up, are we going to see the apocalypse soon?
getting nearer and nearer to a nuclear exchange is only an imagination a decade ago...but alas, ....
If Pootin uses nukes, then no reason for NATO to hesitate using all out attack on Russia.
Think about what your saying
@@mikeostrander5406 "you're"
Ofc they will, they need an excuse to delete russia from history completely, but in such a scenario it is mandatory to strike russian nuclear allies, so china, india, north korea all gone and all problems solved, ofc they won't go on exterminating their entire or most of the population like in russia, but to cripple them for a century, that is an offer that can't be refused, anybody who thinks the us, and the uk and france won't do it, they don't understand geopolitics at all, and some other countries are goner too as israel won't sit idle either, anyways it will be very different future, but may get more humanistic in the aftermath, more like the star trek universe with one earth nation, minus mainland asia ofc, that will mostly perish.
That will be end of world.
Use of nuclear weapons should be an absolute red line for NATO.
Because if use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear nation on EU soil is not a red line than NATO is pretty much useless.
Response for that should be absolutely crippling for Russia. Military targets first, if they launch again, then strategic warheads on cities.
But Ukraine is not part of NATO.
You think Russia doesn’t have nukes pointed at US?
@@realnapster1522 Does not matter if they are part of NATO or not, NATO won't tolerate use of nuclear weapons on EU soil. Putin's days are numbered at this point, he will lose in Ukraine. He might get all crazy in the end and launch nuclear strike to take us all with him. Then it will be up to all those serving men if they follow this orders and end the world because of the one man.
6.5 million Ukrainians have entered Poland. There are currently around 4 million of them in Poland as of September 2022
This is a Do-or-Die situation for those russians who were drafted to join the partial mobilization to deploy on those areas that were annexed. Their task is to defend the captured areas in ukraine and retaliate ukrainian invaders who's on mission to retake the said areas that was captured by the russians. Probably smart, but still a crazy tactics for Putins.
Do or Die....or the third option, Desert.
Fourth option: March on Moscow

We do not want Europe's wars.
Reactionary response, retaliatory response. The response should be reactionary. The decision made by the experienced military commanders.
Highest hopes victory to Ukraine. May GOD's guidance and protection be upon the brave and courageous freedom fighters defending Ukraine.
everyone is afraid to die, not a single world leader dares nuclear war. love the world and everything in it even though a nation wants a brave leader.
Russia is believed to have a literal doomsday device (as does the US, as far as I know) that automatically launches ICBMs at predetermined targets around the world, should they be attacked by a nuclear weapon.
Not everyone - for people with terminal illness, death might be a tempting choice. Therefore such people should not rule the country.
